#33 - Go Kayaking with my husband - 101 things to do in 1001 days

My husband and I spent our one year wedding anniversary at the beautiful Black Rock Oceanfront Resort in Ucluelet. We took a 30 minute drive to Tofino to check out the town and decided last minute to go sea kayaking.

Unfortunately, it was pouring rain when we started getting our gear on to head out, so i opted to leave my camera behind. Of coarse, as soon as we got on the water, the sun came out.

There was 4 couples (including us) in our group, and 3 out of the 4 couples rode in a tandem kayak. The other couple took single kayaks. Overall, i enjoyed our trip but have a few tips.

1. If its your first time kayaking and you having someone you can pair with to take a tandem kayak, do it! The couple that decided to take separate kayaks tipped over 3 times. Two of the times in a rougher area of the sea, and he had a hard time getting back into his kayak.

2. If you get sea sick easily, take something for it before hand. I was fine most of the trip, but for the 30 minute we had to sit in the water waiting for the guy to get back into his kayak, i got super nauseous.

And because i think blog posts are much better with pictures, here is another jumping picture of me on Long Beach in Tofino :)
